Lyrics
On dusty shelves they can be found
Embossed with gold and leather bound
The written word lies within the covers
You read a page and then another
'Till there are no pages left
Leaving you empty and bereft
You can travel North to where the huskies thrive
Or travel South to warmer climes
Or a trip to Europe now that would be nice
A gondola ride through Venice
They can take you anywhere
Without leaving your favourite chair
Back to the shelves to reach for another
Perhaps a mystery to uncover
You are transported to another age
The mystery unfolds with every page
The protagonist, clever handsome and strong
In your mind you take on their form
The stories that rest upon these shelves
Are interpreted uniquely by yourselves
The written word, the characters within
Are formed in your mind as we begin
They take you to the future or times gone by
They can make you laugh, they can make you cry
Back to the shelf to find another
Sit and read cover to cover
Immerse yourself in another age
Another time to embrace
The actors on the printed page
With your mind they do engage
On dusty shelves they can be found
Embossed with gold and leather bound
On dusty shelves they can be found
Embossed with gold and leather bound
